check just as she was about to depart
The sight was so affecting that did not
stop to see if he continued it among the
thirty-nine others left in his service.
Another funny little incident hap
pened to me in a beer hall which is
worthy of note. With two friends sat
the other night in large beer keller
quaffing the malt liquid, when a young
man came along and asked if we wished
our portraits drawn in charcoal. For
the fun of the thing we consented The
artist sat down and for one hour and a
half we three submitted to the frightful
torture of sitting for our picture. Mean
while the entire assemblage in the large
hall became interested in the progress of
the picture, and each one took his or her
turn to come over to our table and make
comments upon it.
One does not wonder at the abundance
of the beer here. The city seems given
up to 1t. Even the coat of-arms of Mu-
mich, the "Munchner Kinde," is repre-
sented as either holding a beer mug or
supporting shields bearing a mug and
the ingredients of beer.
Beer is very cheap here. Three cents
buys pint, and at the Hofbrauhaus you
purchase it for five and four-ffths cents
per quart pot. Do you wonder that when
German goes to sleep he dreams of the
pots of beer flying to him?
With all the beer drinking, confess l
have only seen one drunken man land he
was only tipsy) in this city since my
arrival. Every one drinks beer, from the
baby to the old man, but very few feel it.
You can get up in the morning with as
clear head as you would wish for, and
when you go to bed at night you can
walk as straight plumb line and close
the door as easily after three or four pots
of Munich beer as you could after one
glass in America.

TSpecial CorreSpondeRce.1

MUNIcH.-Give German his glass Of
beer and he is happy. In Munich it
is by no means a difficult thing for
any German, or foreigner either for
that matter, to get his beer and con-
sequently every one seems happy. There
is a sort of "beery" atmosphere pervad-
ing this place that to lover of the great
hop and malt mixture is positively de-
lightful. Beer is everywhere; every one
drinks it, and every one is healthy. 1t
is pure beer, too, such as makes one feel
better for drinking it and oh! delicious
remembrance, it leaves mo mead" next
morning Unless you take your beer
here by the wholesale you are no true
Bavarian. You must go to the brewery,
get your great pot full and drink 1t.
Then you begin to know what good
beer is.
In a city where beer is such uni
versal drink it seems strange that one
place above all others appears to have the
distinction of being the BEST but when
that place is under the government and
the beer like nectar, after taxing IL
once, you do not wonder at finding
yourself going involuntarily back to it
again. The place l mean is the Hof-
brauhaus, where all Munich goes for its
beer-a humble, unpretentious building,
with a low archway for door, leading
into paved court. The popularity of
the place is that you go to rack, pick
out your iron pot, rinse it in big
trough of water, and then take place
in line and make your way to the bar to
get your beer. You are, in other words,
your own waiter; but it pays you for the
trouble. Having filled your pot, you find
a place to stand or sit, either in the
court or in the house. Usually the rude
benches are so crowded that you are
lucky if you can find an empty one in

To come from the ger eral tone of fash
ion to particular styles, it will be well to
look for moment at the full-dress suit.
The "swallowtaip' coat, of course, con-
tinues to be the proper thing for gentle
men and their servants. Two varieties
this season will be correct, and both are
very expensive. They are distinguished
by the collar One is in the shawl-roll
style, the other in the peaked lapel.
Young men will wear the shawl-roll, as
1t is more in the line of novelty, and
elderly men or others who are conserva-
tive and do not care to appear too pro-
nounced in dress will adhere to the
peaked lapel A similar distinction will
be noted in the choice of fabrics. The
young bloods will have their coats made
up of fine worsteds, while their fathers
will wear West of England broadcloth.
Shawl-rolls will be covered to edge with
silk, but on the peaked lapels the silk
will extend no further than the seam.
Sleeves are noticeably wider than last
season and finished to represent cuffs.
Either three or four-button vests will be
correct, and the opening will be low and
of the shield form. 1t may be said here
that the tendency toward pronounced eff
fects will eliminate on the vest in nearly
all suits. In the dress suit the prevailing
mode will be white embossed or en-
broidered silk or satin. When the same
material as the coat is put into. the vest
it will be embroidered. Vests will be a
tri1e longer than they were last season.
Trousers are still increasing in size. The
tailors say that the full-dress trousers
will still be shapely, but the way they
say it indicates that the limit of size and
shapeliness has been reached in the win
ter style.
In the full dress for day wear the
trousers are still larger, but the differ
ence in material makes it possible for
them to be shapely. The correct coat is
| double breasted frock of black worsted
with a vest either of the same material or
of a white or fancy vesting. 1t need not
be said that the choice in this matter
| will depend solely upon the wearer's
desire to be very swell or conservative
Both styles have the sanction of those
who know what is correct. Morning
suits of the swell dressers are of con-
siderable variety, but it seems probable
at this date that the three button cutaway
will be the most popular, closely pressed
by the four-buttoner. Corpulent gentle
men, however, will be justified in wear
| ing one-button coat. 1t Is more suited
| to them and is perfectly correct, though

FASHIONS FOR MEN.
WHAT THE STEINER SEX IS TO
WEAR THIS WINTER.
The Nerve Centers Which Are Found in
Every Tailor Shop of New York-Changes
Which Must Come with Each Season
Latest Styles of Coats, Vests and Trousers.
Copyrighted, 1SS7.l

A culver of excitement is running
up and down Broadway, New York,
Just now, finding its nerve cen
tres at every tailor's shop along the
route. For now is the time when the
ideas of the summer are to be tested for
their popularity with customers in search
of fall and winter clothing. Tailors have
to run considerable risks every new sea-
son. 1t is no easy matter to decide what
will be the correct thing to place before
customers, and if tailor should be so
unfortunate as to load his shelves with
goods that fail to please, and to buy pat
terms that do not 'catch on" he would
speedily find himself face to face with
ruin. The tailor is not a dictator of
styles rather follower. This is true,
not alone of the thousand and one tailors
all over the country who look to the
styles of New York as criteria for their in
vestments, but also of the handful of
gentlemen who are popularity supposed
to set the fashions. These tailors would
never venture to obtrude positive nov
city on the market. They know that no
tailor's dictum is enough to make style
popular. What they do is to watch their
customers. They observe how this or
that feature of the prevailing mode takes
with the swell dressers; accordingly as
it seems to have strong or weak hold
on the tastes of their customers they
modify the patterns for the subsequent
season.
For instance, everybody has noticed
how the style of trousers runs during a
decade from extreme closeness of fit to
extreme looseness, and perhaps back
again; the leading tailors find their GUS
toners wearying of looseness, and con-
sequently they know they will be justi-
fed in turning the style in the other di-
-eclion not all at once, but by degrees.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1887-09-24

And so In any other feature that is pleas
ing. There must be changes with each
season, and the tailors make the modifi-
cations by extending the feature grad
ually toward its extreme.
And yet, they are liable to err, to mis-
take the temper of their customers, and
therefore every approaching season
brings its share of anxiety lest the new
notifications should not take. The styles
for the fall and coming winter have been
builded up on what has been in vogue
during the past two or three seasons.
The changes are quite sufficient to make
it necessary for a dresser to buy new
suits and not depend upon furnishing up
his old ones. In general the tendency
to-day in all departments of mems wear
is toward pronounced effects both in
colors and arrangement. This winter
will probably see the climax of bold de-
sign and rich coloring. Then there is
likely to be moderate return to more
sombre, palmer styles. The fashions
this winter will be easily susceptible of
loud treatment by inartistic tailors and
tlashy dressers. That influence alone is
Xix ely to be enough to cause revelation
by next spring. In the fabrics that tail
ors are now displaying stripes predomi-
nate, though checks are very popular and
fancy mixtures are numerous enough.
Plaids will be seldom seen on swells.
They are out of date for the present
Scotch goods, for suitings, however, are
in great demand.

Austrians, Hadii Lola, assisted by Jamaiko-
vicz, placed himself at the head of the Ma
tional party and organized guerrilla insur-
rectiOn, which nearly became le0ee en- masse
of the population. He harassed the Aus
TRAN army with remarkable daring, and it was
some months before the invaders overcame
his resistance. He was taken prisoner, tried by
court-martial and sentenced to five years
imprisonment in the Bohemian fortress of
Theresienstadt. During his incarceration he
had a foot amputated, and was shortly after
ward released and granted small pension
by the Austrian government on condition
that he never returned to Bosnia. He then
proceeded to the East and took up his resi-
dence in the holy city of Mecca, where he
died. The fame of Hadii Lola has already
passed into Slavonic folklore and the Bos
Man peasantry regard him as another An
dreas Hofer. 1t is said, however, that the
purity of his motives was not quite as incon-
testable as in the case of the famous Tyro-
lese chieftain. In Austria his memory is
preserved in the name of a popular article of
confectionery introduced in 1873 and still
called Hadji Lola Wecken.

Different Methods of Work an1 Their
Different Results.
The parish of Grosbury had two ministers
within year. The town was settled by
few families of strong, shrewd intellects
and stronger prejudices. When men Of
active brain are forced into isolated
solitary lives, apart from the world and its
wider interests, they usually develop eccen-
tricities, Just as tree grows gnarled when it
is cramped by its environments.
Mr.. Wood, as we shall call the first pastor,
was a young, vehement, well-meaning
Christian. He resolved to beard each sepa-
rate lion in its den. He listened to the COM
plants which his parishioners poured into
his ears of each other, and then began his
round of visits.
II have been told that you," he said to one,
''are envious and close to niggardliness.
Know these as your faults, fight them, pray
against them"
''You," to another, "are charged with
dealings so sharp as to be dishonest" "You
are untruthful." you, idle and extrava-
CANT" He prayed, pleaded, argued against
these faults, but in vain. His hearers
listened with indignation or icy composure.
In less than year he was forced to resign
his charge. He had accomplished nothing.
His successor heard his story in silence.
He heard also the charges against each of his
flock, but made no comment. After some
weeks he had discovered the few good quail
ties of these faulty men, and then he went to
work. He combined them all into great
charitable organization. To one who had
executive ability he gave the management.
A man who was fond of children he placed
in control of the school. Clever people
wrote, dull ones worked with the needle or
tools those whose manner was friendly and
attractive were sent out to bring in wanderers
from the highways. He came nearer to
them day by day, as their fellow-worker and
friend.
The first pastor, returning after few years,
found body of earnest, active Christians,
working together humbly and peaceably.
"How did you reach them2 Every door
of their hearts was barred against me-" he
said.
1.-THE Spirit of God has always entered a
mans heart by one door," was the reply.
at is usually limited to you by his chief
good quality. Bring Christ to him through
that way, not by attacking his worst passion
or vice. Disarm him by an outstretched
hand. Do not force him to put on his ar
NOR by previous attack"
There is not one of us who does not wish
to win our way to the hearts of others, to
help and cheer them. In the words of this
wise old pastor we may find a hint that
/ will be of use to us.-YOltthS Companion.

a slim swell would not think of 1t for an
instant.
For business wear the sack suit is the
one good thing. There are several
styles announced among the correct
things, and it is yet too early to predict
with fine degree of accuracy which will
be the most popular Thus far the one
that has the call is single-breasted
buttons. The double breasted sack coat
is expected to be greatly in demand as
soon as really cold weather sets in for
good. 1t is designed to be worn without
an overcoat. The plated blouses, so
popular among business men who like a
comfortable garment, will not be worn at
all, unless by some independents who
think more of their comfort than they
do of fashion. This style has been killed
doubly dead by "ready-made" clothiers,
who have made them by the thousand
for youths and boys. The probable limit
of the trousers in any kind of goods is
reached in the business suit. 1t will
measure twenty inches at the knee!
The leading overcoat will be the
Chesterfield, or fy-front oversack. The
fall coat of this style is from thirty seven
to thirty eight inches. In winter it will
be made of beaver or Montagnac, and be
from two to three inches longer. The
collar will be of velvet, and it will be the
swell thing to have the edges bound with
the same material. The cape overcoat
will be popular and correct this season.
1t is long and shapely, without being
close fitting, and is single breasted The
sleeves will be enlarged over the models
of last season and the cape is consider
ably longer. 1t will average twenty
inches in length. The double breasted

Too Plain to be Mistaken.

judge was at the bar he took occasion, in
summing up an important case, to comment
somewhat severely, in his usual trenchant
STYLE upon the character of the defendant
as developed by the testimony. Said he:
Gentlemen of the jury, this whole transac-
ton is stamped with dishonesty and cor
ruption. The defendants manner of doing
business, as daguerreotyped in proof before
you, exhibits one of the most remarkable
instances of human depravity ever heard
of. Why, gentlemen, it is stamped with
drawing himself up to his full height, and
darting look of mingled disgust and con-
tempt at the poor defendant, exclaimed in
a loud voice: Everything this man has put
his hand to is stamped with it, Everywhere
is written, in letters too plain to be mistaken,
that hated word, f r o a dP'-Erchange.

What dewy, honeyed, nect'r ous sips thrill
on the palpitating lips of rosy, blushing
' beauty; to press those ardent gates of
fame-to kiss them, surely, is no shame
nay, rather, tbs ones duty.
What doaverted looks express-a timid, rosy
consciousness, that tremor quick and
thrilling2 What else than--fe you
hating knave, the sweets are here which
you may have-these lips are ever
willing.
Seek not to plead for a caress; heed not re-
fusal's emptiness pause not at hesitation.
1t is a maiden's willy ruse-so she en-
nance what she refuse-consent lies in
negation.
Seek never by a persuading speech, but
take the bliss within your reach, and
have your satisfaction. Consent in
pruderies concealed to lovers bold will
promptly yield-when one is quick in
action.
Now gently press the yielding waist-then,
slowly stunning fear and haste, proceed
her lips to smother. Then take that
rare delightful bout of thrilling sweet
ness ''long-drawn- out'-and kiss her
for her mother.

correct enough. The covert coat has
fallen out of style and will not be worn
at all by the swells. These considera-
tons, however, need not deter anybody
from wearing still another style that has

What u day Sunday is here for beer
drinkingl Every one turns out, it seems,
on that day; and if you happen to be
near beer garden, brewery or keller,
what will you see? Why, crowd like
this, making its way to the entrance
gate. Once inside, what greets your eye?
Great rows of benches full of merry
making Germans, all happy and con-
tented with their pots of beer. You see
every class represented, of every age
and character. Take, for instance,
morning hour at the Hofbrauhaus. Ger
mans are very particular about their
midday meal. They even close their
stores at noon for two hours, so as to
have plenty of time to eat. Go into the
courtyard of the Hofbrauhaus at mid
day. Under the shed at the left of the
court you will see group of men and
women
While further on you will come across
one of this character.
You may laugh and say these are
fancy sketches, but come to Munich and
you will see them.
The crowds at the tables may amrso
you, and they certainly are interesting;
but what study are the beer madchcns,
OF mattresses! There are none at the
brauhaus-I mean none connected with
the brewery proper-but they swarm the
courtyard from the restaurants nearby,
and pick up lots of trade for their estab-
lishments in the way of lunches, for
only beer is sold at the Hofbrauhaus. 1t

toasted and feasted, and at the end all
the other walters and mattresses walked
forth in procession before the joyous
pair, bearing their wedding presents;
and what lot they gave the lucky
girl!-lamps, shawls, glassware, clothing
and knick-knacks.
"She was great favorite," said one of
the other mattresses to me, land she
brought much trade here"
